- In this paper published in a Q1 journal, we report the discovery that 2D diffusion of self-interstitials is the mechanism responsible for bubble superlattice formation. We demonstrated that this phenomenon can be used to engineer specific superlattice spacings.
It should be noted that this experimental study has been used to validate computational models developed by Idaho National Laboratory (10.1016/j.mtla.2018.04.003). Furthermore, our work has been confirmed and extended by an international team including the University of Oxford (10.1016/j.matchar.2018.08.026). Our paper has directly led to a collaborative funding application to EPSRC with partners University of Oxford and Rolls Royce.
